All I will getting is a tax bill to help all the bailouts.
I used to look at return on investment.....now all I look at is for the return of my investments.

Good one Mike.
I got my investment statement this week. It should have come wrapped in the bright red "Caution" tape. I lost more than 50% last year

Or some K-Y Jelly at least 
No KY will be used on that insertion. The only lubrication will be our blood. Bail Me Out too!
Can I get our wonderful liberal senators to take one for the team and they take it in the ass for us. What am I thinking, those laws don't mean them.

Do you see any Big CEO or elected official offering to take a Voluntary Pay cut to help us through these tough times?
That's funny, I didn't hear anyone offering.

Now when you say "voluntary" it actually isn't is it? With the whole AB merger, I've been lucky so far, but it can't last forever.
Don't worry Dan, I'll hire you to design my rear suspensions I think in times like these, public officials shouls be the first to take pay cuts since we are the one's who elected them and in order for us to help them later need our jobs.

We can't be having none of that here in the Paddock.
I guess when I say voluntary, what I mean is, how many CEO's who had their hands out for the bailout, said, I will take reduced pay, or deferred pay, in the form of stock in my company (yeah right, I'm talking out loud here), in order to get this financial package from uncle sam. Most of them did do something after Congress and the Press jump down their backs and chastized them for their spoils. Does the picture of the 3 CEO's of the Big 3 flying to D.C. in the private jets ring a bell. And then after the storm that created, they all drove their the next time in their "green" SUV project vehicles.
Sorry, getting off topic, I'm just a little peaved at what has been happening and it really hit home with me today.

We weren't broke until the government told us we were back in September. This has been many years(not just the last 8) in the making. My view is : it started in the Clinton admin. Credit was being promoted...everyone had plastic and didn't know how to use it. WE are a "I want it now society, no matter the cost" Oh that new TV will only be $39.00 a month! Oh that new SUV will only be $960.00 a month after they pay off my other one(no thought about being upside down). I can afford that $300,000 home with nothing down because it is appreciating at 10% every year...I can sell in a couple years and make a fortune.
